Its a difficult position to be in and I totally understand your frustration.segs2tier1 wrote:Many thanks for your replies.
I have given them the employer helpline. They have spoken to the Home Office on that number and it will take the Home Office 5 days to confirm whether they have received my application or not..
Now, what should I do for those 5 days? Why are'nt I am allowed to work while the Home Office does its checks for my employer? How can I prove that I am allowed to work while the Home Office is doing checks?
Thanks again.
The Employer Checking Service is a specific email service that includes verification of the right to work where people have an ongoing application with the UKBA. It's not the same as ringing the employer helpline.If at the time of the checks the prospective
employee (or employee when conducting repeat
checks) has an application to extend their leave
in the UK outstanding, you should contact the
Employer Checking Service
Thanks for your post. I read your other post and to be honest I do not much about Ancestry Visas.kittykat wrote:Hi segs2tier1
I had just posted on the same topic on a new thread elsewhere (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=80775). I am also sitting at home unemployed because my employer is not satisfied with my acknowledgement letter, and the Employer Checking service is not advising that I am eligible to work.
However, I have an update which is promising and which might help you. I contacted my local MP and asked for assistance. An assistant in his office wrote to their contact at the UKBA and we received a reply within two days (by email) confirming my eligibility to work. I haven't approached my employer with this yet but I am hopeful.
You can find your MP here: http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/. If there isn't a surgery in the next few days then just phone up and ask for help. MPs can't take on the role of a solicitor but they can make enquiries on your behalf.
Good luck!
By the way what is the name of your employer?????????????????segs2tier1 wrote:Thanks for your post. I read your other post and to be honest I do not much about Ancestry Visas.kittykat wrote:Hi segs2tier1

What has happened in my case is that the Employer check came through just in time and literally says the same thing that is in Immigration Act 1971, Section 3C. I had told my employer all this already - I was merely building a case so that they know every thing and have no excuse in the end.
I was planning on taking them to court for loss of earning and discrimination. There is a fine line between doing checks and discrimination and intent is not important for discrimination. They have allowed me to work again but I will make sure that they know that they were breaking the law by not accepting a legislation.
The irony was that he would not give me in writing that they do not accept my acknowledgement and that legislation. Please note that ignorance of law is no excuse and anyone can be liable.
What is winding me up now is that they want to charge me £100 for doing the Employer Check. They are telling me that they sorted it for me. Pathetic is'nt it? I will try not to give them the £100. I do not see why an Employer should charge their employee for doing checks on him. Oh, btw I asked them to do the checks. I gave them the employer checking service number as well.
Will see what happens next. I could'nt care less! They are an Umberalla Company anyway and I can always change that. They will lose out not me
Re: Hi can you please share info, how did you get the email. Is there a specific email or contact number of Home office you used?segs2tier1 wrote:Good News!
The Home Office kindly emailed me an Acknowledgment notification just this morning.
I will forward it to my employer and if they still reject it then I will have to take things further.
Thanks again.
